The former chair of the Colorado Republican Party is facing potential legal disciplinary sanctions over allegations that he “misappropriated” nearly $280,000 from a pro-Donald Trump super PAC between 2016 and 2019.

The allegations against Ryan Call, who served two terms as state chair of the Colorado GOP between 2011 and 2015, were disclosed in a complaint filed against him this month by the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel, a division of the Colorado Supreme Court that handles attorney disciplinary matters. The OARC’s complaint was obtained by Newsline through a public records request.

The complaint’s allegations center on Call’s involvement with Rebuilding America Now, a super PAC created to support Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Call, a former attorney with the Denver-based law firm Hale Westfall, served as the group’s treasurer between June 2016 and June 2019.

Filed with the state Supreme Court’s Office of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge on June 2, the complaint alleges that Call embezzled nearly $280,000 from Rebuilding America Now through a variety of methods, including by secretly awarding himself a $5,000-per-month consulting contract and reporting false campaign-expenditure information to the Federal Election Commission. The complaint describes Call’s actions as criminal theft.

5. I'm surprised this hasn't already been handled internally like when the mob catches a skimmer.

But maybe the GQP considers him an intrapreneur or something.

6. Cannibalism must be another GQP trait

This doesn't surprise one lick. It is a corrupt political machine that even grift's their own kind. The light of truth has lots of disinfection work to do the the rethuglicon party apparatus.
